Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Drew Brees is back, but Michael Thomas is gone. Can the Saints figure out the rest against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs?

That'll be the question in Week 15 as New Orleans looks to keep pace in the race for the top-seed in the NFC. Brees will start in his first game back from injured reserve due to 11 cracked ribs and a collapsed lung discovered after a win over the 49ers in Week 10.

Taysom Hill started the past four games, winning his first three before a scuffling loss to the Eagles a week ago. But as Brees returns, two of his top targets are done for the rest of the regular season.

Both Thomas and All-Pro kick returner Deonte Harris were sent to IR ahead of this weekend's matchup and will not be eligible to return until the Saints' first playoff matchup.

The showdown with the Chiefs could go a long way in determining when that game will be for the Saints, who have already clinched a playoff berth.

Running game and dink dunk passes play a bigger role today for the Saints. Gotta play keep away from Mahomes.

Preparing a pork roast for the game.

What's on y'all's menu?

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Hope DA has a plan to contain Mahones, Tyrek Hill and Kelce ... ok I’ll
Settle for keeping contain on Mahones and slow those other 2 down.

Have our OL dominat the run game, time of possession and get Mahones off the field. Keep Brees clean Brees 2.4 release and win baby win.

Dang, gonna be a scaled back Taysom today with the Winston Rona designation. Bright side I guess is we’ll probably see Drew under center down around the goal line on 3rd down

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Leave it all on the field today.

Plan to keep it simple. Probably pizza.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

I ain't making gumbo. every time I do, they lose.

Probably just drink beer.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

A message will be sent today, either by us or them...

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Chiefs RUN defense has been suspect most of the season. Hopefully we slow the game down with power running. Absolutely no need to have Brees drop back 30+ times today.

O line (Peat) needs to be on their A game and limit any shots on #9. Chris Jones is a very good defensive tackle.

Saints run game vs Chiefs run defense.

Good 👍 match up.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

With the new rule change this week, I think they can resign/activate Siemian

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

This game will be a chest clutcher until the final. I believe that I'll stay off the game day thread again. I'm a lot happier and more positive on the game day when we have a full healthy team.

We got Drew back! But we still don't have Brown to stuff the run, MT to catch everything thrown his way, Easton will be missed, and Harris won't be giving us short fields. Neither will Callaway. He's still on IR for another week I believe.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Run it.

I've seen a lot of NFL teams go up and down the field on the Chiefs defense this year.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Please keep Brees upright the entire game. Said so himself that he is not 100%. O can only go as far as the O-line can take them. Expect huge days from #41 and #28.

Re: Saints vs Chiefs Game Day Thread
 

Got that feeling, good or bad he'll abandon the run

I made gumbo Friday. Leftovers gone. I’ll be having pizza, beer, and Christmas cookies.

SP's been up all night plotting the strategy, hopefully he remembers some of it.
And Drew...

Yeah, but the refs blatantly gave the Bucs a 1st down there at the end that wasn't a 1st down. The cheating continues.
